L’entrepreneuriat et développement territorial : entre innovation et dynamique locale, étude empirique: Entrepreneurship and territorial development: between innovation and local dynamics, empirical study
Get PDFThe problem of this article is to study the key factors that have played an important role in the dynamics of the entrepreneurial process. To understand the question of the paradigm of development of the territories, we have chosen the region of Blida as a case study because this wilaya is located in the heart of the rich agricultural countryside of the Mitidja which served as a springboard for the development of the food industry. The study is based on the results of a statistical survey of a sample of agri-food firms where the questioning focuses on the behavior of entrepreneurs in territorial development (Ferdj, 2019, 2020). This work is part, in theory, of an approach where the following theoretical concepts served as explanatory, analytical and interpretative elements of the survey data. Thus, the analytical exploitation of the survey data allowed us to determine the characteristics and specificities of the creator-innovator entrepreneur according to J. Schumpeter (1912)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
L’INTEGRATION DIFFICILE DES CONNAISSANCES TACITES DANS LA PME INDUSTRIELLE PRIVEE: LE CAS ALGERIEN
Get PDFThe article aims to examine the investment in knowledge at the private industrial SME’s level in Algeria. Many theoretical studies have shown the importance of tacit knowledge in attainment of competitive advantage in several emerging economies. Our analysis angle, referring to Polanyi's basic theoretical model, reveals the idea of exploiting the tacit knowledge accumulated over the years by the remaining workers, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, professional experience gained by employees who have changed jobs and retired staff. As a result, the examination of the different branches of activity of the Algerian private industrial SME suggests integrating tacit knowledge as a new source of competitiveness in order to revitalize this type of company and stimulate innovation
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
